212. Weight, Worth, & The Diet Culture | Body Positivity Double Bind

What happens when you let go of the scale after decades of daily weigh-ins? For Kayla MacDonald, it became a powerful 7-week experiment in self-trust, discernment, and detaching her worth from a number. In this emotionally rich episode, she breaks down the double bind between diet culture and body positivity, and why both extremes can keep women stuck.

You’ll learn:

• The truth about tracking: how it can be neutral, healing, or harmful, depending on your intention
• Why Elizabeth Benton’s quote, “Avoidance isn’t refuge,” became a turning point
• How the observer effect from quantum physics might just apply to your relationship with weight
• The emotional (and cosmic) lessons Kayla faced when the “math wasn’t mathing”
• Why she no longer pedestalizes other people’s paths over her own lived truth
• And how she’s rewriting her story - from frustration and stagnation to empowered devotion

Kayla also shares journal prompts to help you rewrite your own relationship with the scale, health, and self-worth.

If you’re tired of being told there’s only one right way to love your body - or that weight loss automatically means you hate yourself - this is your permission slip to find your own middle ground.
